Depending on the progress you make in your language study while in Lyon, you may extend your UCEAP participation from the fall to the spring and take regular university courses taught in French. This is subject to the approval of the Study Center Director and local university departments. ​

If you are interested in participating in volunteer work in Lyon you should contact France Bénévolat. This is a very active association that centralizes most of the requests for volunteer opportunities in the city and they would be happy to welcome UCEAP students to participate in their events.

HostInstitutionsContent

University of Lyon

The University of Lyon is a two hundred year old institution situated in the center of the city on the banks of the Rhône. After a large recent remodeling, the University of Lyon is now home to many modern educational buildings placed directly alongside older, 19th century halls and classrooms. UCEAP students on the University of Lyon Language and Culture Program will take courses at the Center for Instruction in French Studies (CIEF) at Lyon 2, which specializes in teaching French language and culture to international students.

EstimatedCost

​

Participation in UCEAP is a great value! The cost of studying abroad on UCEAP programs is typically less than that of non-UC study abroad programs. The dollar figures listed in the chart below represent an estimate of: 1) the UCEAP fees for the current year, and 2) the additional amount needed to cover your living expenses in this location. Estimates for personal travel, entertainment and Non-Resident (out of state) Fees are not included.

Keep in mind that on UCEAP you take your financial aid with you. The amount of your financial aid package will take into account the total estimated costs of this experience. One advantage of selecting UCEAP for study abroad is that we facilitate the process by working with your UC Financial Aid Office (FAO), informing them of your UCEAP participation and providing them with your UCEAP budget. Just like your UC Campus billing office, we receive your financial aid and scholarships from your FAO, apply it to cover the UCEAP program fees, and disburse any remaining aid on a set schedule.
